AI can write a term paper in seconds — but you can’t be sure that it verified the facts and created knowledge readers can actually trust.
With the Wikipedia Assignment, students do the intellectual heavy-lifting: researching, fact-checking, writing, and ultimately publishing to one of the world’s most-viewed sources of information.
This fall, swap out a writing assignment for the Wikipedia Assignment and empower your students to use their human critical thinking skills to make a real-world impact on public knowledge.
Each term, nonprofit Wiki Education provides free support to hundreds of postsecondary courses across the U.S. and Canada for their projects on Wikipedia — yours can be next!
